If I ever go back and work on Capitol Hill, it will be for Katie Porter or Elizabeth Warren.

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that when people say “I want things back to normal,” they’re part of the power structure that sees normal as someone else’s job.

It’s reminiscent of people who had trouble grasping #MeToo. It shouldn’t be this difficult to understand that people should speak up when something wrong happens and shut up when nothing wrong is happening, but here we are.

+1 a plucky little summer show that ploughed a fun furrow for itself.

Of course you “get to object to them being used elsewhere.” Lornicz is doing it right now! Whether she has any legal recourse if Galdwell refuses is a different matter, but she can surely object to Gladwell’s decision to use her quotes in a manner she feels portrays her unfairly, or even that just opens wounds that…

You mean someone who made his whole career extrapolating anecdotes did lazy work vetting his resources? Say it isn’t so! He’s a hack and I’m not at all surprised that he didn’t think for one second about these victims as anything but fodder for a story. 

INSERT YOURSELF? are you serious right now?

How curious that a guy that hung out with Jeffrey Epstein would either ignore women’s voices or use them without their consent in his book.

Malcolm Gladwell is an insufferable ass. And he also completely mis-characterized Chanel Miller’s assault in this book.

What an extremely normal thing to have to do, good thing our society isn’t diseased and depraved. This is also why we need to elect Biden, he can speak to these economically anxious folks who are just good people deep down, y’all.

Maybe I’m an old, but I only understood, like half of this post.

Purity culture is a deep well of horror, and all too real. I never realized how lucky I was to be raised where I was, and by a family that was religious, but in no way fundamentalist. Even the priests at the school I attended told us the Bible was not supposed to be taken literally. They were great teachers. I was…

No OB/GYN is even allowed in the exam room without a nurse present.

What, harassment doesn’t have any basis in fact? Are you daft, or just a troll.

This comes down to one basic premise: Men don’t trust women’s judgment, honesty or integrity*.

(There’s a full cast audio??? Okay, time to re-visit!) I have earrings of the original Dealing with Dragons cover, and have used that as a gateway to rec the heck out of them to my library patrons.

I was telling a friend that one of the reasons that heels are part of my work wardrobe is that it is difficult to condescend to someone when you have to look them in the eye. Doesn’t stop them from trying though.

My little sis is 6' and she loves it. For one thing, she has made every sports team she’s ever tried out for. She can eat basically whatever she wants and she’ll still be thin. Also, creeps are usually scared of her and leave her alone. Only possible drawback is a few guys have said they wouldn’t date her cause she’s…

I put her in aikido at age five. She’s also very very tall and on track to hit six foot by the time she’s done growing.
